The old man regarded Quinn Thorne with a look of mild surprise, clearly not expecting that answer. After a long, searching glance, he spoke in a tone heavy with implication. "Alright then, take your time and think it over. I'll have someone reach out to you." He paused at the threshold, turning back with a faint smile. "Remember, young man, talent is plentiful, but those with the eye to recognize it are rare. Learn to seize opportunity when it presents itself. Until next time."
He turned and walked away without waiting for a reply. Olivia Sterling watched him go, then rounded on Quinn with an exasperated look. "Getting a position at the Sinclair Gemstone Group is an incredible opportunity. Why didn't you just say yes?"
"What if he's a con artist?" Quinn shrugged, entirely unconcerned.
